Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor has posted a picture of him with the BMW G 310 R motorcycle. Shahid Kapoor posted the picture on Instagram calling the bike perfect solution for the Mumbai traffic. He wrote – “The perfect hack for Mumbai traffic right here! So agile and nimble. Was a super fun ride.” It’s unclear whether Shahid Kapoor has bought the bike or just took a ride on the bike. Shahid also owns a Ducati Scrambler and has posted images on Instagram with his Ducati in the past.

The BMW G 310 R and BMW G 310 GS are the entry level motorcycles from BMW Motorrad and quickly becoming famous in India. Recently former Indian Cricket team captain and opening batsman Sourav Ganguly also bought a new BMW G 310 GS motorcycle priced at Rs 3.49 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Last year, another cricketer, Yuvraj Singh bought a BMW G 310 R bike worth Rs 2.99 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), making him the first celebrity to buy a BMW G 310 R motorcycle in India.

Both the motorcycles made their India debut last year and have been developed in association with TVS Motors. BMW is offering an unlimited kilometer warranty for 3 years, that can be extended to 4 or 5 years. Both the bikes are produced at the TVS plant at Hosur, Tamil Nadu, making them the first Make-in-India BMW motorcycles.

Both the BMW G 310 R and BMW G 310 GS are powered by 313cc, liquid-cooled, a single-cylinder unit with four valves and a DOHC cylinder head as seen on the TVS Apache RR 310. The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox and produces 34hp of power and churns out 28 Nm of peak torque. Both BMW G 310 R and BMW G 310 GS get tubular steel frames, five-spoke alloy wheels and ABS.

The BMW G 310 R is available in 3 different colours - Style HP, Cosmic Black and newly introduced Racing Red. With the launch of the BMW G 310 GS and the G 310 R, India has become the fourth country where BMW produces motorcycles at, after Germany, Thailand and Brazil.
